Pissed off about downgrading service on ebay (any help?)

[soratheultima]

So a month ago i decided to try and find a downgrading service for my CECHA01 NAND console and i found one on ebay which seemed legit enough for me to trust it ---> PS3 PlayStation Professional Downgrade 4.11 to 3.55 Ofic. Firmware (All models) | eBay back then it was 69.00 without shipping (had to pay for that myself) so i sent it off thinking i would get it back within 2-3 weeks. It was also in perfect condition with a fan mod I installed myself. I was wrong a month with contacting and bs'ing he now tells me that it has A yellow light of death and that he can't downgrade it. he then told me how he downgrades consoles and this is the part where I'm now very confused about... i know myself that NAND consoles can only be downgraded by A progskeet or other hardware methods and not software . he told me He doesn't deal with hardware he installs software? soo am i being BS'ed here or what? I already told him to send the console back which i hope he does tomorrow. I'm not sure what i should do next but i am pretty mad.

Call the police lol honestly. That ylod can be cause 1 of two things. What I think happened is that he tried to downgrade using FSM then tried to get out, which didn't dehash the PS3, causing you the ylod. I would demand a refund. It's still fixable though. But I'd also try to get the money needed for extra tools to fix it.

yeah <.< it was working perfectly before i sent it to him (for 5 hours to ) he said he needs it to be operational for a whole hour but he said mine could only last for 20 minutes. I would have gotten a progskeet myself if i knew how to solder (which i do a little i just don't trust myself) I did send him a pretty mean letter telling him i would call the authorities if he doesn't send it back tomorrow and doesn't give me back my money. but he is Bull s***ing me right? or is there a way of downgrading NAND's through software?

You can't software downgrade ANYTHING retail past 3.55.

Give him 48 hours to respond about sending your gear back. Get a tracking number. If he gives you the runaround call the police for his area

yeah thought so, he said i'm getting a refund for it as well now. can't wait to get it back so i can find someone more reliable to do it. Thanks for your help guys

Progskeet does have that 360clips that can clip over the PS3 NAND and with some work, you need to grind down parts of the 360clip, due to the SMD being in the way of the 360clips. The only soldering you should have to do is create a solder bridge on R9 and R11. To give power to you NAND without turning on your PS3 you could solder the 3.3 and ground to your adapter PCB board (or so I read somewhere). It shouldn't be too difficult though.
Caveats
Injectus will be required to program Progskeet for use on the PS3.
You need to have a dump of your PS3 NANDs from Progskeet before it was even modified or an attempt to downgrade to recover. So even if you bought Progskeet and all of it's necessary hardware, you still might be SOL.

Well that is what i was going to do in case i couldn't find anyone. I think the guy is just afraid to work on my console because i have modifications (fan mod ) and some broken plastic. but whatever i will see how the console is like when i get it back

You don't need injectus for progskeet.

what bitstream is progskeet shipped with?
